How to Be Yourself in a World That's Different By Yuko Yoshida Published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers Price 9.99 ISBN 1843105047
Yuko Yoshida is a child psychiatrist with more than 20 years of clinical experience, and her insight into the needs of young people with Asperger's syndrome is apparent throughout this short book written primarily for adolescents with the condition.
The book is divided into two sections. The information part is written in clear, simple language that is never patronising. It conveys some important findings from current research and offers a non-stigmatising take on common mental health problems that may accompany the syndrome. Then there is an advice section, which offers practical coping strategies, before taking on the difficult area of "hobbies" - the all-pervading interests developed by many people with Asperger's.
